Time to put your stilettos on eh?

@KKtrips has 3 wagons these days I think?

Yup, might bring double wagons.

Keen, may be +1 with the lad. Also won't be there till sometime later in the afternoon.

I wonder why they need it all removed - I could understand if it was just around the window cuts.

Normal oil shocks (not gas filled or anything) will move by hand. Even gas charged one will move but will push back out. Good work on getting starting. A dud rotor is pretty subtle.

Bummer about the gas tank. You might be able to get a radiator place to solder it up. I've fixed a couple this way (no naked flame with an electric iron).

Looks like the C80R is the one to run with external ballast (resistor wire) https://www.recarb.com.au/Fuelmiser-Ignition-Coil-C80R-Universal-unresistored-distributor-spark

Though you would have picked the dog box option? Also,

Stripped the door card Goes here. When I get some more duct tape I'll cover the spaces in the door to stop the water getting in (I guess they are missing from the other doors too, given how warped the other cards are) I got a sheet of this fibre-type card material from a hot rod trim place in Tawa (Kohl R&C), not cheap, but supposedly good, and cut out the shape then punched the holes Glued on some thin padding Finished article, with patina. The armrest screws were all rusted up so I drilled new holes for them. I didn't quite get the alignment correct with the contact glue, but it's only a British car.

Have been fixing/f*king some of the upholstery. These are the rear interior panels, the skinny piece goes at the rear of the headlining. This one is a bit rooted from historical leakyness I picked up this rear door panel from Horopito as I had one entirely missing. The design matches the front seat (2-tone) but not the rest of the interior. I guess the front seat as been swapped at some point. Anyway the card is in bad shape from dampness at Horopito. Rear panels cover this area (which I sprayed with cavity wax in the weekend, messy business)

Ex-mining places are interesting. Denniston Incline Waiuta. Haven't been to either for some years, I think some of the incline structure has been restored/rebuilt. Punakaiki (pancake rocks) is weirdly interesting too.

BTDT. We got a contractor in as our place is sandy, but needed deep drains.

You would think they would be able to do a better job than that. I wonder how they determined the centres - for the holes you can get/make machinists buttons

Wagon = Wagnats attendance?

Good choice. Holden > Nissan + Ford (Not the HZ from Northland?)

I think it's a Mazda 626/Telstar front disc. About 270mm dia and 10mm thick. I've had the calipers for ages so I'm not sure what the supply is like.

I've used 200SX ones on my project.

300mm or gfto in my experience.

You are getting pretty efficient at the rust repair - better buy some more Fiats...

WOF acquired on Friday. Still a few things to do as usual, I'm going to replace some of the card backing of the upholstered panels towards the rear. It's a mobile motel!

I'm impressed by how un-leaky yours is. My Mercury leaks worse than a british car.

MR2 4AGE setup in the rear?

I've used 8mm plate picking up 3 out of 4 bolts with a couple of spacers tig-welded on to get the caliper centered on this disc. Not certed yet, but I expect it will be fine.
